OK but what enables the plane to leave the ground in the first place. The plane is heavy and stationary in relation to everything but the runway, there is no lift from wind under the wings, and the force from the jets is acting horizontally.murf wrote:That is the incorrect assumption and the crux of the whole thing.....Raisin wrote:the velocity of the plane and the runway cancel each other out

Can't believe this was nearly 10 years ago
Also can't believe anyone could have thought that it wouldn't take off tbh.

So planes would have to land on a bend - a recipe for skidding if ever I've heard one.
PS In the years since this thread started I've become a Zen Buddhist, and therefore conclude that the plane both takes off and doesn't take off

No it's his brother's plane, schrodinger. Which would definitely take off. Whether it exists or not is another matter, though probably both at the same time (there's a cat in the pilot seat of course).
